Chapter 4 - Not without a star

x Dee's Pov x

Far
We've been travelling far
Without a home
But not without a star

I collapsed onto the sofa; only to discover that Carol had already dumped her stuff there.

"Shit! Ow Carol! What the hell have you got in your bag?"

"Um... A hairbrush... some nail scissors..."

"Say no more, I need a plaster... Ryo! Where do you keep the plasters?"

"In my bedroom in my bedside cabinet."

"Kay!" I opened the top draw of Ryo's bedside cabinet to find something I definitely wasn't expecting...

"Dee! It's in the second draw down," Ryo called from the kitchen. I took one last glance at the surprising item before closing the top draw and opening the second. Nothing out of the ordinary here... just plasters. "You found them?"

"Yeh thanks Ryo."

"I bought an extra pillow down from the attic for you."

"Why? Am I sleeping on the floor again?"

"No. Unless you want to. I was gonna let you sleep on Erm... my bed and with an extra pillow coz I know you normally sleep with two pillows and erm... I need some milk. Would you like some milk?"

"Um no... thanks..." That was weird. Did Ryo just accidentally let slip his feelings for me? He wanted me to sleep in his bed and that had to mean something... he remembered the pillow thing... that definitely meant something...

xXx

Past means nothing,

Hold onto now,

Come towards me,

Hold on tight,

Your eyes have never shone so bright...

xXx

x Ryo's Pov x

I'd never been so embarrassed in my whole life! I was such an idiot! Dee's going to walk out for sure! I poured myself some milk even though I wasn't thirsty, and put two straws in it to cheer me up. Sitting on my bed drinking milk, with Dee next to me, there was an awkward silence. Probably the first awkward silence we've ever had. God he must hate me! But if he hated me... why did he keep kissing me? No he didn't hate me that was for sure... But why the silence? I closed my eyes, and then opened them again; to see Dee's face right in front of me. I felt a blush rushing to my cheeks as he moved in closer.

"Um Dee... Are you sure about this... I'm not ready for this yet..."

"Then how come you have a picture of me in your top drawer next to your bed huh?"

"Oh you found that huh? Well... erm... I can explain that... erm..." But I never got the chance to as once again Dee engulfed my body with his. I wanted to tell him to stop... but I didn't want him to stop. Why did this have to be wrong? But... maybe... It wasn't wrong. I moaned softly as Dee traced his tongue around my lips. I moved into him; begging him for more. Finally I wasn't afraid anymore. Dee instantly complied with my pleading and with excited energy; he thrust his tongue into my mouth. I felt his hands wander, and begin to unbutton my shirt. His fingers caressed my chest, and I moaned at his every touch. He moved his hands further down and I shivered.

"Sorry..."

"No. Don't stop." I looked into his eyes, showing him that I wanted for us to be together in the most intimate way possible. He slipped off my shirt and planted soft kisses all over my chest. Just as he was about to move his lips further down, the door opened,

"Fucking hell!"

"BIKKY! GET OUT!" Dee looked more upset than angry; but this wasn't coming across.

"Whoa... erm... sorry dude... didn't realise you were so erm... fucking hell..."

"JUST GET LOST WILL YA!"

"Um... Chief just called... Said it was urgent..."

"I'll get it," I got up, any excuse to get away from Dee just after he had been denied his life's ambition. Although come to think of it... so had I...

"Ryo is that you?"

"Yeh Chief it's me."

"There's been another bomb attack - but don't worry no-one was hurt! In fact the bomber struck an empty building that had recently been burnt down. The workers who were supposed to be repairing it had luckily gone on an extended tea break. It's in Crane Drive you can't miss it." Crane Drive... But that's where Dee's building is! And it was recently burnt down by a fire! "Hey Ryo? You still there?"

"Yeh Chief."

"Well we also got a letter from our bomber..."

"What did it say?"

"He will be mine."

xXx

In the car, Dee was still obviously upset.

"But what could that mean? 'He will be mine.' And why your building?"

"I don't know Ryo O.K!"

"Look Dee, I know you're pissed off that you didn't get to screw me but it's not my fault Bikky came in so stop taking it out on me O.K!" Dee was decisively silent after that. I didn't mean to be so harsh on him, but the truth was; I was pissed off that he didn't get to screw me too.

xXx

x Dee's Pov x

O.K… That right there. That was mean. Saying it like all I wanted to do was fuck him so he'd be my prize or some shit like that. It wasn't like that at all. I cared way more than that. Hell I'd kill myself right here if he asked for it... I'd be glad to. He wasn't a prize or trophy. That's not why I wanted to... I just wanted to be as close to him as possible. Our every breath filled with passion and pleasure. I loved him more than... I couldn't even think of anything to compare it with. And when he went and said shit like that I got really... well it hurt... a lot. My heart felt like it was tearing in my chest. I also got that feeling whenever that bastard Berkley Rose looked at my innocent Ryo the way he did. With those uncaring eyes. He just wanted Ryo as a prize - he was the one who should have to feel this PAIN!

"DEE! LOOK OUT!" I switched my concentration back to the road as I realised I was heading straight for a line of police officers. I swerved, narrowly avoiding the majority but hitting the one on the edge. In the shock, I careered too far too the left and the car slammed into a tree. It was then everything went black.

xXx

"Dee! Dee Oh please wake up! Dee! No! Come on Dee please!" I awoke with a splitting headache, and some wet substance on my jacket. Blood? But nothing hurt except my head... No this wasn't blood... It was tears... But who was?... "Dee! You're O.K! Oh thank God I was so worried Dee! Oh what would I have done without you... I'd have nothing... nothing left... I'd just..."

"Ssshhh Ryo. It's O.K. I'm fine now O.K. Where are we?"

"Back at my apartment. Chief let you off. Though he wasn't happy about one of his officers with a broken leg!"

"Who did I hit?"

"Rose..."

"HA!"

"DEE!"

"Alright I'm sorry..." But I couldn't help but smirk. That bastard deserved it!

"You should get some sleep Dee. There's a bandage round your head so try not to remove it or the wound might get worse."

"Thanks for looking after me Ryo."

"Hey that's what I'm here for." And as I lay down next to him, I saw something different in his eyes again. Something more than passion. Love. And this time I knew I felt it too.

Wow... Wasn't expecting to see that! Ahem anyway... I tried to concentrate on something other than the image of a half naked Ryo being practically swallowed by Dee, though it seemed to be burning a hole in my retinas. But then I saw something to completely wipe that image away. Through a crack in the door, I saw Carol. She was dancing... there wasn't any music but she was dancing... The way she moved... I peered around for a closer look, but she spotted me.

"Oh um sorry..."

"Um... Sorry I was just... I didn't think anyone was watching..."

"Sorry I didn't mean to I just..."

"It's O.K." She climbed onto the sofa ready for bed, but I still needed to tell her something. I walked out of my room and sat on the coffee table.

"Carol?"

"Yeh?" I leaned forwards, knowing what I had to do. Who cares about a sodding age gap anyway... It doesn't matter when... when you're in love. And as my lips met hers, I felt my heart bloom into a million flowers. All time stopped. All sadness faded. There was just me and Carol in a perfect moment.

"Night Carol." Carol just stared as I walked back to my room. I peered through my keyhole after I got in to see her silently smiling to herself, before lying down to sleep... and to dream... of me...
